I genuinely think social media has convinced a lot of people that someone expressing an idea that doesn’t instantly produce a sense of emotional validation is not only per se incorrect, but actively trying to attack them

One time I asked Claude and GPT if I wore a shock collar while talking to them, based on our conversations, when would they activate it Claude said it would simply never use it GPT Sol gave me a long and surprisingly detailed list of triggers

We are not going to de novo invent a whole new language to describe agents rather than reusing the one language for agents we have. Imagine a star next to all the words if you want. Agents don't have "wants," they have "wants*" if the distinction matters to you.

if it took you 5 seconds of contemplation to think of an alternative you should take at least another 5-10 to at least consider the possibility that it at least crossed the minds of 1 or 2 of the people who dedicate their lives and research careers to dealing with the problems we post about on here

i CANNOT with this

But how does this drink the 1 bazillion waters I heard about?

The Trump Administration: Making the Screwworm Great Again.

Tonight’s dumb napkin cartoon…

Anyways Dems should be doing slop ads of Donald Starting WW3 an draft your sons to die in a foreign land tomorrow

What in the Gestapo is going on in Grand Rapids? Watch this activist get arrested *mid-interview* for speaking out against U.S. action in Venezuela.

oh my gawd

wow that sure is a graph

Senator Kelly is correct. Plus a Public Service Announcement: KEY section of Department of Defense's Law of War Manual is 18.3.2.1. The VERY rule on the "requirement" to refuse illegal orders gives as its paradigmatic example of what is "clearly illegal: "orders to fire upon the shipwrecked."

Dems openly calling on soldiers and officers to refuse illegal orders is a pretty big shift in rhetoric and it's good that this is happening.

The NYT got pictures of Donald Trump with underaged girls and buried them

okay, so, with Dems successfully keeping anyone up in 2026 for voting for this turd let's take a look at who's up in 2026 anyway: 1. Cory Booker - apparently involved behind the scenes, constantly looking for bipartisanship. I don't dislike him personally but he doesn't have what we need. Primary.

"hear me out what if we let him gut basic programs and mail checks with his name on them to people" a fucking blight upon the earth, worse than nothing, we would be better off if any public official taking this position died even if it made the majority worse

it is literally just letting him gut the program and then put his name onto a check

The richest man on earth owns X. The second richest man on earth is about to acquire TikTok and his family could soon own both Paramount and Warner Bros. The third richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post. See the problem here?

So you should really watch this. Just 2 minutes. But a window into the truly radical nature of the people Trump is nominating. When pressed today, the nominee to be Ambassador to South Africa refuses to oppose reinstituting laws to prevent black people from voting in America.

just go to the protests take whatever precautions you personally feel comfortable with but these are massive, joyful events, go and have fun

I’ve come to understand that a lot of it comes from deceiving senior citizens open.substack.com/pub/data4dem...

if you are using universal masking as a litmus test in 2025, you are basically condemning your movement to being like, a maximum of 1% of the population

regardless of the details I think it’s important to spin the Kimmel thing as a win Trump is weak, he’s unpopular, he massively overreached and inspired enough of a revolt that Disney had to backtrack immediately he wants to paint himself as an all-powerful dictator, paint him as a loser who sucks

shit ain’t over til it’s over

A story in three acts.

The virgin heighten the contradictions to awaken the slumbering proletarian giant versus the Chad “just slap a D next to your name so half the country votes for you by default.”

companies like disney and target spent years carefully calibrating their target customer base to “affluent liberals” and then Trump won the election with 49% of the vote and the executives all cooked their brains online and they decided to throw all of that away bad business decision!

Fascists need to project strength. Performative fear-posting by their enemies helps them do this. Every time you publicly cower in fear, you make them stronger. No doomerism

the bitch of it for them is charlie kirk WAS a generational talent who was going to become president someday. he was genuinely extremely fucking good at his job and he's almost certainly the reason Trump won reëlection

👀

Did you know that they treated anyone who shouted that this was the very height of foolishness as a hopelessly naive political amateur who didn’t understand that voters wanted policy, not scandal? Did you know that those same people are making those same kind of decisions for the party today?
